It's Earth Day, so let's celebrate a facet of motorsports that people forget; the beautiful scenery. People tend to forget that a lot of tracks, especially the ones built pre-Tilke that follow that natural curves of mother nature, are very beautiful.

One that people forget about its beauty is Le Mans. There are definitely parts that are more sterile, especially the Porsche curves and Bugatti sections, but the rest of the track is a drive through the beautiful French countryside.

Those famous, and scary, trees at Tetre Rouge. There used to be no barrier there keeping drivers from colliding with them.

Mulsanne straight and corner. Any time it's in the shade during the race, I just want to be blasting down the same road at 150 in an open top sports car from the 50's or 60's.

The run up to Indianapolis/Arnage is just as beautiful, as it's closely tree-lined.

Post your most beautiful track. I'm expecting a Spa and a Nordschleife, but show Oppo something unexpected.
